workaround for /dev/pilot that's out to lunch?
Hi All, I find that after a few [days, uses, lunar cycles??] my /dev/pilot device stops appearing when I hit the sync button on my palm cradle. Sometimes it's the palm itself, and a soft reset fixes it, but much of the time the only cure is to reboot my SuSE 9.3 system. That's rather a nuisance. Curiously the rest of the USB system continues to work. I can't tell if this is something to do with udev, the USB system (unlikely) or something else but it's certainly a pain. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to restart the USB/udev parts of the system so I can perhaps kick /dev/pilot back to life without a full restart? Or any other workaround--indeed, has anyone else found this, or is it just me? Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.
